Stop fishing on this lake after October 1st! You idiots are ruining the duck hunting! The next person fishing that comes by my blind or decoys will have the DNR called on them so they can be cited for interfering with lawful hunting! Go fish on the many other good lakes that hunting is not allowed on!

Jt unfortunately I am a duck hunter as well but when it is a public lake there is nothing much we can do and as far as interfering with lawful hunting good luck with that one. Most people I run into when out hunting this water stay away from my spread you must have had some real nice people by you.

This is a shallow lake. The water is polluted due to agricultural run off and the fact that there is no operative inlet or outlet. By summer, the fish from this lake take on a muddy taste. The lake is larger now than it has been since the days of settlement in the area. It is naturally a wetland area serving as a stop for waterfowl migration on the Missippi flyway. The increased water levels recently seen have taken a toll on the ecosystem previously known to the lake.

Have been catching crappies up the wazzoo! Great lake while it lasts. The sunnies are also relatively good size and are usually swimming close with the crappies.

Great lake to limit on crappies!! fish are not the best tasting but are not terrible by any means. Anyone that lives near this lake should come try it out. Ducks unlimited did NOT buy the lake so don't believe any of the rumors. If you don't believe me on that check out the Dnr web sight. Otherwise Good luck fishing out there
